This is a humorous sketch about having our anchor in Christ, otherwise we could drift and become shipwrecked in our faith.  It is obviously a rip-off of a popular TV show from the 60's.  Two gals, Pepper and Carrie Anne have met and are taking a short cruise around Catalina Island with a female skipper.  But the skipper gets  off the boat to gas up and the girls fall asleep to wake up and find that they have drifted way out to sea.  Pepper is played over the top as a dumb actress and they deal with possible sharks and rocks and the fear of shipwreck.  Even though they cry out to God in prayer... they find themselves at the end on an island where someone named Gillian is also stranded.    There are sequels that you can get to follow this sketch, parts 2 and 3.  Or if you want all three, go to the general Christian script category and scroll till you find "Gillian's Island - The Play".    You save a little money by buying the play rather than the three skits.

3 females plus one extra.   About 12-13 min.    (the part of Skippie could be played as a male)

This short skit is about a guy sitting on a park bench when an old friend sits down next to him and surprises him. The reason he is so surprised is because the friend had died. You figure that out as the story goes on and that this friend has come back from hell to ask the guy why he didn't tell him about Jesus. Something to make you think.

Two actors. Could be two males or two females. Only 5 minutes.

Three teenage girls discuss their struggles with growing up and what it is like to be under the protective authority of your parents. A picked rosebud becomes the object lesson as the girls talk about how to cope with changes and what the rosebud could symbolize in their lives.

3 teenage girls, (two younger, one older) and 2 women. About 17-18 minutes.

This short drama is about taking the time to count your blessings and be thankful for what you have.  A window clerk at the post office hears one sad story after another that makes her think twice about her own complaints.   The humor comes from the actress playing the clerk, as she hears the stories, she begins to become emotional and then loses control of her emotions when she hears the fifth story.  The point is clearly made... and you can go out with a laugh as this poor woman loses it.

6 actresses.  (Some of the parts can be easily re-written to be male)   About 10-12 mins.

This short drama is filled with humor as we look at people with addictions or problems where they need to find help.  A girl sits at the phone for a lunch break and takes the hot line calls.  She gets very busy with a lot of different types of callers.  This would work well for a lot of different ministries, but especially the Celebrate Recovery groups.

2 actors (written as females, but gender doesn't matter) 5 callers are heard in voice-over, so the actors can read from the script.

8-10 mins.

Loose lips sink ships, as they say.   This sketch is about speaking out of turn and how easily something shared becomes gossip.  Marguerite is giving free make-up demonstrations and two ladies from church come to get their faces done.  Personal things get shared and what should be sad is actually funny.  You see, Marguerite is foreign and she doesn't always understand what is being said and often gets things wrong.  Sometimes humor is the best way to get the point across.  Liver spots on a mother's hands become spots on her own liver and they begin to talk about her death.  A lip injection is mistaken to be a liposuction.  You will have fun teaching this important lesson and get made over at the same time.  This is similar to the sketch "Lip Service". 

3 actresses.  About 14-15 mins.

This is another sketch about Marguerite, the make-up girl.  This time Marguerite is a smaller part as the skit starts with two women from church who meet at the make-up counter and begin talking.  It starts out as a pretty normal conversation until one of the women shares a prayer request that is supposed to be kept private.  As she leaves, another lady from church shows up and the information is shared, but not very accurately.  By the time Marguerite hears it, it is totally wrong and she always gets things mixed up anyway because she is foreign and doesn't always understand what is being said.  What ends up being a serious case of gossip turns into a funny end when the original woman returns to be greeted by a distraught Marguerite.   This is similar to the sketch "Lipstick". 

5 females (one part is very small) about 15 mins.

Five teenage girls are having a slumber party and suddenly two of them pull out some liquor that they snuck in. This comes as a big surprise to the others, and one in particular voices her stong opinion. She is mostly concerned about them dying without Christ, so for the first time, she openly shares her faith with her friends. They choose to ignore her and she leaves the party. A sudden shock ending comes as the girls get the news of their friend being killed by a drunk driver on her way home from the party.

Five actors. Just under 10 minutes.

This skit is about complaining.  We all do it, and you will hear yourself in some of these lines.  The first couple are complaining about service at a restaurant, the second about the weather, and the third scene finds someone complaining about things that are going on at their church.  Unknown to them, the person listening was about to come to their church for a visit.  Sometimes our complaining will do more harm than we realize.

7 actors (male or female - gender not important)  About 10 minutes long.

This is a short, 5-6 minute skit about a couple of college girls who are talking about the one's new faith is Christ. Without even realizing it, the new Christian is witnessing to the other one about her need for a Savior, but her friend rejects the offer and suggests they find new roommates.

Two actors. Probably both female, but could be changed to two males.

A modern day Job story with Jr High or High School girls.  Josie feels like her life is falling apart.  Her family may have to move to a big city, her grandmother is in the hospital and could die, her face has broken out, she got an F on her test and she has a cold sore on her mouth!   Here come Josie's friends to give her advice.   Is that what she needs?  Finally, one friend shows her compassion and true friendship and actually helps Josie find her strength in God.

5 females.  About 7 minutes long.  Easy costumes and props.

This is written as a one-woman monologue, but it could be done with multiple actors.   A newswoman (or man) interviews six women from the Bible, each very different, which could allow an actress to show much range, playing several characters.  They include: Leah, Jezebel, Esther, Ruth, Deborah and Mary.  If the sketch is too long, it can be easily adapted and shortened by removing some of the characters.

One actress.    About 9 minutes as written... can be easily shortened.
